My two cents. I was at the first tournament and went home with my entry strike. Didn't win one of the 50 but was satisfied. I am relatively new to the hobby if there are people who have been in for 10 years. My observations: There did seem to be groups or families who were having a great time. I wondered about the "insiders" who got many entries if that was the case. I wondered why people were sometimes complaining about the fact all of the strikes that were to be given to special slot winners were all taken before the tournament started. But that was OK because I was new. I wondered about the people were were sitting at the strike machines with trays of strikes and few others able to play. Question: Why can't there be more than 150 entrants, say 400. You could have an entrance coin of which there would be only 400. In addition, there could be 150 coins for winners in the 50-200 range. Then there could be the top fifty numbered winners. More chances, more coins, more fun and the price could be adjusted accordingly. Am I naieve? Thanks for listening, Ted
